Overview
The tiny capital atoll of Tuvalu is one of the least-visited places on Earth, a slender strip of land around a vast turquoise lagoon. Funafuti offers a rare, intimate glimpse of Pacific atoll life and stands at the frontline of rising seas.
Top attractions
Snorkel the protected Funafuti Conservation Area, relax on the lagoon shore, and observe daily island life centred on the runway and maneaba meeting house.
Getting around
The atoll is tiny and walkable or covered by motorbike and a handful of vehicles. The airport runway doubles as a community gathering space when no flights are due.
